‘In the Loop’ Interview with Tubuans & Dukduks: Blogging in the Pacific

It was a pleasure to once again be interviewed yesterday by ABC’s In the Loop hosts Clement Paligaru and Isabelle Genoux in what is planned to become a regular segment of the show – blogging in the Pacific.

Blogging really is a dynamic reflection of the changing Pacific society of today. The Pacific in general has been traditionally one of the most democratic places in the world. By “traditional” I don’t mean modern government systems – but traditional ways of governance and the ability to share one’s point of view, a practice which has been a basic thread of Pacific life for centuries.

On that note, those of you reading this from Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, or New Caledonia – why not start a Blog? You’ll be surprised at the number of people who will be interested. I for one want to know what is happening there – from your point of view.

NOTE:

ABC’s Radio Australia’s Tok Pisin Sevis will be interviewing me on Thursday as well, another first for Tubuans & Dukduks – going live on airwaves around the Pacific in Tok Pisin!

Yeah we are, just a thought. Maybe we should have our own radio show or TV talk show that draws content from the blogs?? I know it would take allot of work, but just a thought…we’d have to give up our day jobs…

I think we could fit it around our day jobs – i mean, maybe a one hour radio segment – per day? The TV talk show sounds interesting – would there be enough interest out there to warrant a TV talk show.
